Vonn produces 'Basic Instinct' pose

It's long been rumoured that Vancouver Olympic gold medalist Lindsey Vonn would be appearing on the cover of ESPN The Magazine's film issue dressed as Sharon Stone from "Basic Instinct."

This weekend, we caught our first glimpse of the cover. As far as re-creations go, this one is about as accurate as can be.

Vonn tried her hand at acting earlier this year when she appeared as a desk clerk during the final episode of "Law and Order." The two-time Olympic medalist had lobbied for a role on the program (her favorite) and creator Dick Wolf was happy to oblige.

After a seven-month break from competitive skiing, Vonn returned to the slopes late last month for her 2010-11 season debut in Austria, where she finished a distant 18th in the giant slalom. This weekend she'll appear in her hometown of Vail at the first North American World Cup meet of the season.

Thanks to The Fourth Place Medal.
